mattblack Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 That silver 1600E on stotmags is WELL LUSH!!! Re. the Minor, I've often wondered if one would work done in a 'volksrod' style... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Is that Anglia covered in suede? I suspect that will be Velvetex, which should send you all rushing for 1973 copies of Hot Car! IIRC it was a type of nylon flock, fired at either some form of sticky coating on the bodywork, or some kind of electric charge. It's at least 35 years since I've read anything about it though, so excuse the possibly-hazy memory... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barefoot Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I did my best to join in on this thread.I was getting back into my van at the supermarket yesterday when a matt black with flames Herald drove past.I know, a Herald. Jumped into the van & set off after it Trawling along, spotted it at the last minute in a 'Road Closed' thingI was obliged to continue along a couple of hundred yards,around the roundabout & back bugger me, if it hadn't nipped through a locked gate & a 'road closed' signShe had keysshe must be dealing with horses I will lurk & bring you a photograph of this device, although I'm not convinced that it's nice.

chaseracer Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Difficult, I acknowledge, but... looking beyond the suede flock, the forest arches and the Zodiac rear lights, why is that Anglebox on a J-plate? Import..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shep Shepherd Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Not exactly a custom car, but wanky enough to be included, I think: Hopefully, it will be scrapped before it's finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formula Autos Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Yay, I remember Celestial! Wasn't it at the Lakeland Motor Museum at Holker Hall for several years? It was indeed at Holker, but hasn't made the trip to the new museum at Backbarrow. Plenty of excellent old shite has though .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Backbarrow, eh? If I ever get over to see the house I own in Barrow then that has to be part of the trip, I reckon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brammy777 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 @155V6, is that Rushmoor Arena, and more specifically, a Wheels Day from a few years back? Probably one of the best events for Custom cars now, although the level of wankness is minimal these days it seems. But has anyone got a photo of the Yellow 'Submarine' Transit from last year? That was pretty unique.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flat4alfa Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 A genuine commissioning. Leyland Motors asked Custom Car Magazine to do their worst. Is it wanky or is it nice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flat4alfa Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Century Oils (who?) sorted this one out as an advertisment. Another one from 1979. It was a good year. edit: Formed in 1996 from the amalgamation of two of the UK's most respected lubricant companies, Silkolene Lubricants and Century Oils, FUCHS UK is a full line supplier of Industrial Lubricants, Automotive Engine Oils, Mining Lubricants, Specialist Motorcycle Lubricants and ancillary products. ah.

dollywobbler Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 That Custom Cars Prinny is a pretty awful, half-arsed attempt. Not really keen on the second one either, but at least some effort was put into it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
